Eugenie has been actively involved in campaigning against modern slavery for several years. She is also a co-founder of the Anti-Slavery Collective, an organisation dedicated to raising awareness about human trafficking and exploitation.
There has been no suggestion that Eugenie, her sister Princess Beatrice, or their mother Sarah Ferguson have been involved in any wrongdoing connected to the Epstein case.
However, the charity announcement comes during a turbulent time for the York family.
Fallout from Andrew’s arrest
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The controversy intensified following the release of the Epstein files on January 30, which revealed numerous emails exchanged between the former Duke and Duchess of York and Epstein.
Andrew has also faced accusations that he sexually abused Virginia Giuffre, who said she was trafficked by Epstein.
He has consistently denied all allegations against him and has since been released while investigations continue.
The situation has reportedly had a significant emotional impact on Andrew’s daughters.
